RUGBY. LLWYNYPIA 8pts., TREHERBERT 0. This CHaffiorgan League match was played »i> the De Winton Ground on Saturday last. It was the first League matoiA for the homesters this season. Threw of tlie team were missing, having been nicked to assist the Glamorgan League against Monmouth. These three were Oriddle fcaptain), Mark Lewis (wing) and Bddia Phillips (outside half). Llwynv- pia were lucky in scoring shortly after play opened,- running over with a try, which Griff. Richards converted. The Visitors afterwards made determined efforts t. equalise, but threw away their cliaJKXfs, and although the homesteis were kandioapped for the greater part of the game through players receiving injuries, Treherbert failed to cross their line. Skapter the inside half, had his shoulder fractured, and Parsons, at one time 8* Bridgend forward, sprained his ankle, and both had to retire early in the first half. Llwynypia defended well, 17 and with the famous Hellings leading them, played pluckily to the end. In the second half, some pretty passing was witnessed, and the try scored by Geo. Uemollyn was one of the finest seen at Llwynypia this season. This consti- tuteci the third successive win for Llwynypia upon their own ground, and it is W hoped that, when next they go away to play, they will cariy this form witk them. TREOROHY OLD BOYS 4pts., PENY- GRAIG RESERVES 0. A fairly large crowd attended to wit- ness this oitcoutite,r, but there is no doubt that the Cwmpare match greatly affected the gate. White kicked off for Peuygraig, and PinkTiam returned with a, well-judged kick. Treorchy were now pressing well, and after a, good round of passing Roche missed a sure try. Penygraig were awarded a; penalty, and afterwards seemed to- buck up a little. Some fine tackling and corkscrew runs carried Tre- orchy within the visitors' line, but Alf. Hopkins missed scoring. Some good play was -exhibited by Penygraig, who were now marking all excellent fight. During the second moiety, Ireoicny carried play within the visitors' 25 line. Penygraig, however, drove them back, and after a fine bout of passing by tre- orchy, Will Jones neatly dropped a goal. Scrums were fairly numerous, and All. Hopkins was playing well. A kick sent the ball near Penygraig's line, and play for a time was carried on here, but Peny- graig pressed hard and sent the ball to touch near midfield. From now most of the play was witnessed within the home- sters' line, and play of a give-and-take character was indulged in until the whistle blew. Mr. C. R. Everson, Porth, was the referee. TRBHERBERT RESERVES 6pts., TREBANOG 0. At Treherbert in fine weather on Satur- day last, Trebanog R.F .0. met their masters for the first time this season in j Treheroort Reserves. Despite the fact that they were outclassed as regards weight and size, the Reserves played a plucky game and thoroughly deserved their victory.. „ Three points were scored against Tre- banog in the first half, W. H. Colwill dropping a grand goal from a point five yards inside his opponents' half, where a penalty had been awarded. Jim Lewis (Treherbert's wing) on one occasion made a great run, in which he beat six of the opposing players, and seemed to have the line at his mercy, when a visiting for- ward cut across the field and stopped his career. A splendid try was scored by the home team in the second moiety. Instead of kicking clear, w: H. Colwill (full-back) ran a, good distance and gave to Lloyd (wing). Finding himself hemmed in, the latter repassed to Colwill, who crossed with an unconverted try. Colwill (the home custodian) was the hero of the game. He played a brilliant individual game. The home wings, J. Lewis and J. Lloyd, were in great form.

ASSOCIATION. BLAENRHONDDA 5gls., PENRHYS STARS 0. The above game was played at Blaen- rhondda on Saturday, under the auspices of the Rhondda League (Second Divi- sion). The visitors were minus two players, whilst Blaenrhondda were at full strengtE. The visitors, therefore, plaved the one-bacic game, and the Blaen- Rhondda forwards were frequently pulled up Ktr offside play on account of this. The first half was drawing to a close when the Blaenrhondda right wing- sent in a fast ground shot which looked like piercing the defence, but the Penrliys custodian saved well.. custodian saved well. The homesters attacked immediately after the interval, and the game now became very one-sided. W. Jones opened the scoring for Blaenrhondda from a melee in front of the visitors' goal Following this Joseph (right wing) cleverly dribbled up to his opponents goal-mouth, and registered another goal in favour of the home side. Penrhys then gained a temporary advantage. Return- ing to the attack, Blaenrhondda- scored again through Austin Rose (centre for- ward) after a combined movement, in which Josephs centred well..After this, Joseph scored his second goal by a fine long shot from the wing, and oon after- wards W. Allen (left wing) scored the fifth and last goal for Blaenrhondda in a similar manner. ? FERNDALE A.F.C. IgL. MARDY RESERVES 1. These teams met in a friendly encounter on the Darran Grounds on Saturday afternoon, before a fair gate. The home team were much disorganised, their centre forward and centre half having to be substituted from the Reserves whilst the visitors were well represented. Ma-rdy kicked off and soon tested Rackham, the home custodian, who saved well. Pretty play by Emlyn Williams drove the game to midfield, where it remained for some time. A free kick was awarded Ferndale near the penalty area, and Ernie Davies sent in a beautiful shot which Thomas had difficulty in stopping. The homesters were still pressing, and Powell missed an open goal. A free kick was given Mardy on the 25 line but W. Jones' kick went wide. Webb intiated a magnificent dribble and centred to Caviel, who found the net for Ferndale. Chris. Owen, for Mardv, brought play back and forced a corner, and in trying to save, a Ferndale player shot in his own goal. In the second half, the Mardy forwards were dangerous, and shot over the bar several times. They were awarded many corners, but to no advantage. Smart play by Ferndale brought the game to midfield. where it remained to a finish. There was no further score. LEWIS MERTHYiv, 2gls., FERNDALE THURSDAYS 1. This Rhondda League match was played on the Darran Grounds on xiiursda.y last, and considering the great counter- attraction at Mardy, there was a fair attendance. The homesters kicked off against a very strong wind, and were kept all through the first half on the defence. The Fern- dalians forced many corners, but gained no advantage. The Lewis Merthyrites were now playing a fine combined game, and opened their score with an easy shot from Will Hillier. Shortly afterwards, Bennett scored their second goal. In the second half, the homesters, assisted by the wind, soon put up a strong attack Bryn Lewis, on the left wing, dribbling splendidly, centred to D. O. Davies, who put in a smart shot which gave no chance to the visiting custodian to save. Play was very scrappy at the finish. ST. CYNON'S RES. lgl., MARDY 0. This match was played upon the Pont- rhondda Grounds on Saturday last. For some time the homesters were playing an attacking game, and the visitors' cus- todian, Morris, had to contend with some stinging shots by Lawny and Huzzel, but he acquitted himself admirably. A splendid dribble by Millington put the men in a good position, and the Reserves had to concede three corners in quick succession. The centring by Harry was exact, and Morris was always safe. There was no score registered during the first moiety, but during the second the Reserves netted once, so that the final score was Reserves, 1 goal; Mardy, 0. TONYREFAIL 4gls., ST. CYNON'S 2. St. Cynon's team journeyed to Tonyr- efail on Saturday last, but came home vanquished to the tune of 4 goals to 2. TON 9gls., CWMPARC 2. This game at Cwmpare last Saturday was in the nature of a Derby," and a splendid crowd gathered. Ton liave lately done so well thart they were the favour- ites for a win, but it was generally anti- cipated the tussle would be a stiff one. Cwmparc have done quite unsatisfactorily up to date, and have not fielded the same side in any two matches this season. Last Saturday, the disastrous experiment was made of playing Hedges (Croydon Common) in goal instead of the old veteran. Harry Jones, and Tommy Reed turned out at centre forward with a, gamey ankle. Ton early took the game in hand, the forwards often getting into the danger zone after splendid bouts of combination. Tommy Davies scored early after good following up, and later repeated the offence (from Hedges' point of view) with a deceptive shot some way out. The Cwmpare defence was un- certain, and Will Jones at centre half was a "passive resister" as far as the designs of Curtis and Allman were con- cerned. Jack Hughes worked hard, but Dan Price was erratic in kicking, and Marr was, below form. Johnny Williams and Allman added to the score for Ton before half-time. Afterwards, Cwmparc's attack improved, but not before T. Davies, Curtis and Allman scored again. Will Jones was lucky in scoring a penalty for Park, and Smiles obtained a beautiful goal. The failure of Will Jones seemed to dishearten the home men, and Roberts added a couple of goals. Ton was much the superior side, but such a rout was inexplicable. It is generally surmised that some of the players did not fully extend themselves. CWM ALBIONS 4gls., MARDY 1. Cwm Albions came to Mardy on Thurs- day, and conquered the homesters to the tune of four goals to one. Never has the Mardy team sustained such a crushing defeat, and the knowledge that the Blues can give a much better display than they did on Thursday makes the pill all the more unpalatable to the Mardy sup- porters. There must have been a tremen- dous falling off from the form of the Mardy men at Cwm on the previous Saturday, where they made a draw of two goals each. Otherwise the defeat is inexplicable. The game was keenly con- tested, and Mardy should have put up a good score in the first half, when they were assisted by a strong wind which blew almost straight to their opponents' goal. It may be that the fact that they have only played two games on the rubber patch had a great deal to do with the upsetting of the hopes of the homesters but it is certain that passes intended for the wing men went astray, and it must be confessed that the wings, when they did get the ball, missed many valuable chances. Neither of the Mardy wings was equal to the Cwm outside right (Darky Head), who, time and again, got away and was really dangerous; two of Cwm's goals were got through his efforts, and knowing how dangerous Head was, it is surprising that he was allowed so much rope. Mardy had numerous chances, but they failed completely to turn them to account, until well on in the second half Gardiner, after a good run up the line, shot for goal, and the Cwm cus- todian failing to clear effectively, gave Strugnell a chance, from which he scored Mardy's only goal. The only players on the Mardy side who played anything like their form were Smith in goal, and D. B. Jones (right back). With no desire to decry Cwm's fine performance (they are a warm proposition," and will surprise some other South Wales teams), it is certain that had the Mardy men played the game they did against Cardiff City, Frome and Clevedon, the result would have been decidedly different. MARDY 6gls., LODGE HILL 0. This defeat brought about several changes in the team to meet Lodge Hill on Saturday in a friendly encounter. The removal of Emlyn Jones from centre half to inside left certainly added to the dash and vim of the front rank, and he him- self scored two of the total of six goals. The other scorers were Lenaghan, Summers, Ivor Jones and Jenkins. The latter player occupied the position of left half on Saturday, and performed so creditably that he played in the same position against Tredegar on Monday, and will appear against Cwm on Saturday. MARDY 2gls., TREDEGAR 1. The Tredegar match, a South Wales League encounter, resulted in a win for the Blues by two goals to one. The score should have been at least four goals to one. Mardy missed many fine chances, and the Tredegar defence were lucky on several occasions. It may be that some of the players have not yet got hardened to the rigors of the Mardy climate, but it looks as though a few of them had lost a great deal of the dash displayed earlier and stiffer matches. The sup- porters sincerely hope that this un- lucky patch will soon be got through. The Reserves turned out two teams, in friendly matches, on Saturday—one at Ferndale, and the other at Trehafod against Lewis Merthyr. Both games ended in draws, and the teams are to be congratulated upon doing so well. MID-RHONDDA ATHLETICS 2gls., MID-RHONDDA Y.M.C.A. 2. This match was played at the Athletic Grounds on Thursday last, and a keen game was witnessed. Play started briskly but about eight minutes after the start an incident occurred which marred the game. After a rush by the Y.M.C.A. teaxn, Gordon, their inside right, raced to force the ball through the goal, whilst at the same time Harding, the Athletics' goalie, rushed up to save a ground shot, and the two players collided, resulting in Gordon breaking his leg. The ball bounced towards the left and a goal resulted, a Y.M.C.A. forward tapping it i ii. The Athletics scored the equaliser about thirty minutes later. From the restart, the Y.M.C.A. Dressed, and Harding was called upon to save very frequently. Kent, the homesters' back, was then drawn up by the referee for an unfair charge, and a penalty was awarded. Parry took the kick and beat Harding with a low shot. Soon after, Watts, the homesters' inside right, broke through and scored. An incident occurred at this juncture which evidently escaped the referee's notice, for the scorer, on going to kick, was tripped by a Y.M.C.A. full- back, but he pushed the ball through the goal with his hands. TON-PENTRB RESERVES 2gls., MID- RHONDDA ATHLETICS 0. The Athletics were visitors to the Ynys Park on Saturday, where they met Ton- Pentre Reserves. Both sides gave a poor display, the game ending in a win of 2 goals to nil of the Ton-Pentre Reserves. YSTRAD RANGERS 3gls., BLAEN- CLYDACH ROVERS 2. A good game was played at the Ystrad j Grounds, resulting in a win by one goal for the home team. W. John played a good game, and the forwards displayed ati4DTl. John, I combination. John, Hopkins, and Jonathan scored for the home team, and Snooks and Britton for the visitors. CILFYNYDD 2gls., ABERCYNON 1. This Glamorgan League encounter was played at Abercynon in fine football weather on Saturday last. The visitors took the field two short, and in the first few minutes Jeffery had the misfortune to turn the ball through his own goal, giving the homesters the lead. Cilfynydd pressed from a corner by Britton, and Jeffery headed a few inches wide. From the restart, the visitors broke away, and VV oodly scored with a fine shot. A few minutes later, Gwilym, Jones beat Currie, scoring the winning; goal. Taylor, for Abercynon, had hard lines with a long shot, Manley saving in brilliant style. WILLIAM STOWN CRESCENTS 6gls. COEDELY RESERVES 1. This match took place on the ground of the former. There was a fair crowd present. The game opened evenly be- tween the teams, both displaying great determination and vigour. Fifteen minutes from the start, T. Williams notched the first goal for the visitors. The Crescents after this displayed their superiority, and Dai Thomas, the homesters' outside right, put in a. clinking shot. The Crescents again attacked, and the same player put in another grand shot. After this, the visitors'- play was weak, and Jack Doggett netted another goal. Soon afterwards, the same player scored another. Reg. Guarson also put in a goal from a corner kick. Just on the call of time, Geo. Meadow sent in a stinging shot which hopelessly beat the visiting goalie. The homesters were attacking vigorously when time was called. The Crescents were vastly the superior team, and fully merited their victory. Thomas, J. Doggett, and Doyle were the best for the homesters.
Shots for Goal.
Shots for Goal. Alf. Hopkins was by far the best player on the Treorchy Athletic Grounds "on Saturday, He exhibited some fine play- ing, and was the favourite of the spec- tators. A coming player and honest worker for the Old Boys is Will Jones, who worked like a Trojan on Saturday. Critical per. sons pronounce him to be a good kick and excellent tackier. Will Morgan and Polsom. two ex- Treorchy players, are making a marked progress in the Northern Union field. As the result of their playing both, on one occasion, were shouldered off the field. Both play is forwards, and are considered by the Union officials as valu- able assets." Salisbury, who last season was an Old Boys player, is making strides to popu- larity among football enthusiasts. His first season with the Firsts is, so far, all that can be expected, and there is no doubt he will make a mark before the season terminates. A good worker and player of excellent judgment is D. Vaughan, who put up a good fight for his team on Saturday at Pontardawe. He plays well at three- quarter. Treorchy played Pontardawe on Satur- day at the latter place, and returned home defeated. Play was about equal, and it was mainly bv hard work inter- mingled with a lion's share of luck which secured for Pontardawe their solitary try. Treorchy were honoured to write oppo- site their name the big round 0. Their fifth League match this season was played by Blaenrhondda Stars A.F.C. at Blaenrhondda, on Saturday, and they celebrated their victory by scoring five goals to nil against Penrhys Stars A.F.C. Good old Blaenrhondda! As stated in a previous issue of the Leader," Blaenrhondda A.F.C. intend making a bold bid for the. cup or medals of the League this season, and if their present form is retained they will have little difficulty in doing the trick. The most useful player for Blaen- rhondda on Saturday was .Josephs (right wing). He is a speedy player, and has the knack of scoring goals when least expected. The best back on the field on Saturday was oil the Penrhys side. Hurrah! for Treherbert Reserves R.F.C. They are to be congratulated on Saturday's achievement. Trebanog, their opponents, had not been defeated this season until they encountered the Reserves at Treherbert. Treherbert were clearly the better team; their victory by 6 points to nil was well merited. The form of the Reserves on Saturday was a complete revival. It was gratify- ing and encouraging to the team's sup- porters. Keep it up, boys! The Treherbert Premier Rugby XV. again tasted of the cup of defeat on Saturday. They played away in a Gla- morgan League match versus Llwynypia, and Dick Hellings and Co. indicated their superiority by a score of 8 points to nil. In the scrums the Treherbert front rank gained possession on most occasions, but the ball was never heeled out cleanly to the half-backs, who therefore had but little chance of opening out the game. At three-quarter, the Treherbert backs were outclassed by the Llwynypia quar- tet. Their defence was weak and their tackling faulty. Ferndale Town had hard lines on Saturday in not defeating Mardy Reserves. The homesters' display was the best witnessed at home this season. Carter, their new inside left, playing a rattling game. He is very smart, and knows where and when to place the ball.

HOCKEY.
HOCKEY. Quite a number of spectators witnessed the first hockey match of the season for the Pentre Higher Grade Schoolgirls at home on Saturday afternoon, their oppo- nents being the Portli Higher Grade. The referees, Messrs. 0. J. Owen and W. D. Thomas, commenced the game in good time, and for a short period matters were even enough. The visitors "gradually asserted their superiority, and opportuni- ties to score were twice taken advantage of. The home team only occasionally troubled the visiting goalkeeper, while the home goalie saved several good shots in splendid style. After the interval, Pentre improved, but the visitors' defence was so sound and keen that it was not once penetrated. The visiting forwards and halves exhibited good combination as well as rare opportunism, another three goals being secured. Tea and games at the school served to cement the good feeling and the numerous friendships existing between the pupils of the two schools.

Shots for Goal.
Mark Lewis' (Llwynypia's left wing) second try in the. match against Bridgend Saturday week was a. masterpiece, and he well deserved the applause and to be recognised by the Glamorgan League in being picked to play in the team last Saturday. Eddie Phillips (Llwynypia's outside half) had two honours conferred upon him last week by being picked twice to represent his county—at Cheltenham en Thursday, and at Brynmawr on Saturday. The Soccer team at Llwynypia is making rapid strides towards popularity. It will be recollected that they are the holders of the Barnes O'Hare Champion- ship Cup; and now they have won the first qualifying round of the South Wales and Monmouthshire Junior Cup. They have lately signed on a few new players of promise. W. Couch, of the above team, is a promising left back, and is playing an excellent game this season, and will in all probability be heard more of in the near future. He has represented his team in all their matches so far, and as he is only nineteen years of age, he has a bright career in front of him. Elliot, the custodian of the Llwynypia A.F.C., is a fine player, and his saving in many cases is really brilliant. His team owe the small number of goals scored against them to his splendid work. The old rivals, Ton and Cwmpare, met at Cwmpare on Saturday. Puzzle "Find the rivalry. Ton, 9 goals; Cwmparc, 2. As seen from the score, the Reds had a day out, and no mistake. Tommy Davies. the juggler of the team, was responsible for three of the goals. To state that Tommy was in his element is to put it mild. Comment upon the game would be a farce, as after half-time, when the score read Ton 4, Cwmparc 0, the Ton boys did not exert themselves, they simply played. It should be mentioned, though, that Fyfe is practically starved upon the wing. He should change places with Roberts. The Cwmpare captain sets a very bad example to his men. He should learn to die game. though beaten. The Cwmparc mascot—a terrier— actually shed tears when the game was over. Harry Churchill, the Williamstown Crescents' goalkeeper, is playing in fine form. In the match against Mid- Rhondda. he was the hero of the day. Harry has found his true position and should stick to it. Dai Ginger Thomas, the outside right, played a fine game against Coedely Reserves." His two goals were real beauties. If Dai maintains his present form, he will prove a rare handful for his opponents.
